Re: What would you do with 7 Million volunteers?

So I saw a really cool use today.

CAPTCHA are those little security messages that spam bots have a tough time deciphering, and thus slow down spammers from maiking fake accounts. This does require users to spend a little time deciphering the puzzles too.

reCAPTCHA uses 2 word puzzles. One is knwon, and the second word is supplied from texts that are being digitized where the software has a difficult time recognizing the word.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReCAPTCHA

The article says that this method is applying 12,000 manhours a day, or roughly the equivalent output of a 1,500 person company.

Now where is my check for $1.13...

Sigh... Guilty! Those sorts of observations are why I started this thread. Some friends and I have had novel Ideas on how to utilize wasted time.

One of the more morally questionable ideas was based off of the 80's movie where a kid playing a spacecraft battle game finds out he is actually auditioning for a fighter pilot spot. My friends idea was a video-game that was essentially border patrol...

Personally I would love to see someone do a data mining experiment that was a series of surveys that could be taken at the DMV or doctors office while waiting.
